Scorpion R1 EXO Air Full Review [I Didn’t Expect This…]

After 50+ helmets and decades of riding—from cruisers to track days—I think I finally found the one. The Scorpion EXO R1 Air brings race-spec features, surprising comfort, and featherweight construction… all without breaking the bank. Seriously, it feels like grand larceny at this price.

One feature that blew me away? That inflatable cheek pad system. It sounds gimmicky, but it’s an absolute game-changer when the pace picks up or the miles stretch out. Combined with excellent aerodynamics and a premium feel, this helmet punches way above its price point.
